Application filed November 6, 1924, Serial No. 748,135. and in Great Britain December 27, 1923.

This invention relates to improvements in standsjor supports for motor cycles and-other cycles and nioreparticiilarly to that kind of support Which is pivotally or revolubly at.- tached to the rear or front wheel axle or to the frame of themachine, the said supports beingzitdapted to be swung round onto the ground to supportthe wheel oil the ground andtobe locked in that position and also to be sec'ured'in positionclear of" the ground when not required P [iccording'to this invention, a disc or discs is or are fired on the rear br front wheel axle or els where 0n the 'liraine, the stand or suppivotally mounted on the said disc or discs and a locki device is adapted to'lock the support to'o'ne oreach of the discs when the stand islower'ed to raise the wheel otlthe ground. [The stand or snpport or each of its inen'ibers is conveniently furnished with a circular strap or ring revoluble on or in a groove 'in the disc and one or each of the said straps has anenlargernent or casing to contain the lock, the bolt of which is adapted to, pass through a hole or slot in the' ring and into a housing or recess in the disc to lock l'llsStaIiCl in 'the'lowered positionin which the rear wheel is raised; off the ground. The locking device may also be siinilarly adapted to hold the stand in the position clear of the ground wheiiit' is not required,

And in ordei 'that the invention may be readily understood "and carriedinto eilect, reference'will he made to'the accompanying drawings, in which i Figurel is a side elevation a part of a bicycle provided with this invention and showing; the stand or 'supporfiin the position when not :lii iise.

lilgure 2 is an end elevation thereof.

illigure 3 is a side elevation showing the stander support in use andsnpporting; the rear or drivingwh'eel er the bicycle out of contact with the ground.

Figure 4 is a side elevation to an enlarged scale ottlie inner end and l'ock of one side of'the support tlieposition shown in Figs V V t Figure 5 is a part sectional elevation on the line V'Y Figure 3 btit'to an enlarged scale.

Figureffif is a side elevation similar to Figured of part of the standbut or the other side of thepstand; or supportf R ser eeee' i eal1 v tes f th portion of. the stand or support shown in Figures, and in the position shown in Fig-- ure'l, and.

Figure. 8 is a section thereof, taken approximately on the lineVHI VIH Figure e 7 V In carrying the invention into effect and asapplied for raising or supporting the dravnig'or rear Wheel-Yo fan existing bicycle, the construction illustrated bythe drawings comprises a centrally recessedfdise a Figures 5, 7. and8, having an'integral flange 1) on. one side and a disc 0 Figures 4, 5 and 8', on the other" side to form a second flange securediby a screw dihthe central. recess 01" hole 'so'that, in eflect, the disc has a cantral'l groove. in its periphery and 'aradial slot or'recess (Figure 7) thereinl This recess '6 is aclap'ted to form a housing for a bolt fot. a loci; g) or any suitable construction. if desired, tliereinay be two otthese recesses at a suitable distance apartfthat is to say, in addition to the recess 6 there is also another recess h. Moreover, if. desired, and. as; shown only in Figure 3, there is on one 'sideof. the disc and" fined to or integral with a casing z' of. the stand containing the lock 9', a projecting stud. or lag 7c adapted to serve 'asf'a stop to come against a chainstay Z or ha k fork or other frame iheinber in order to liinitthe angular nioveinent of one ofthetWo stand members at in relation to the disc (4' and thereby obviate undue pressure on the bolt whenthe stand. is in use. Obviously, the other member m of the stand is also provided if desired, with a similar hip; in; Figs. andgtl 'ilhe pivot or fulcrumend of one ineinber 'm- (Figures'5 7 and 8) o l" the stand is furnished) with a ri'n or strap '22, which is nndividedu and. int j with the lots-casing 2', andhas such airinternal diameter as to enable it to :[it androtat'e in thegroove of the disc at] The casing: a" is formed as, for instance by being recessed shown to receive the lock 7 which isv conveniently lined in the slot or recess inthe casin'g by attaching it to a plateo which "is secnred by screws "79. The ring a and the lock-casing i are furnished. with a ra'eial slot through which the bolt 7. is adapted to protrude The stand as shown in Fig. 2 and comprising two support-s m connected near their outer ends by a tubular rail. or crossbar isinounted ontlie disc at on one side and ona'soinewhat sim'lar disc 9" (Figure '5.)

on the other side. The said discs a and 1' are fixed on the chain stays Z by means of straps t, studs u and nuts 1). Packing strips '0 (Fig. 5) prevent the chain stays Z from being crushed when nuts 1) of the studs are screwed up tightly. The belt f Figs. 7 and 8 is adapted to be normally pressed into the recesses it by a spring 7. When the bolt 7 has been retracted from the recess h and the support has been rotated a sufficient distance, said bolt will protrude into the housing or slot 6 in the disc a and then the support will be in the position to raise the wheel of the machine from the ground. To release the stand from the position shown in Figure 3, the lock is unlocked by means of a key inserted in the keyhole 9 (Fig. and this key is adapted in any well known manner to cause a tumbler f to be partially rotated in the slot f in the bolt f (Figs. 7 and 8) so that the latter passes out of the recess 6, whereupon the stand may be partially rotated from the position shown in Figs. 1, 7 and 8. The disc at furnished with a groove such as marked to in Figure 7 and the bolt is bevelled on one side so as to allow the bolt to be pressed out of the recess or housing h, when the stand or support is lowered and to be automatically locked when the bolt slides into the recess e and, therefore, it only requires a key for unlocking. In the raised condition of the stand, the bolt f is conveniently housed in the recess h and the cross bar or tubular rail g is attached to any convenient part, as the mudguard by a spring clip as, shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 although the bolt f engages in the recess h the clip it serves to support practically the entire weight of the stand when in the raised position and out of use.

Each of the rings a is provided with an oil-hole 3 such as is shown in Figure 7 for the purpose of lubrication.
